17^th February: Colin Grant on ‘Negro with a Hat’
With masterful skill, wit and compassion, Colin Grant chronicles Marcus Garvey’s extraordinary life, the failed business ventures, his misguided negotiations with the Ku Klux Klan, the two wives and the premature obituaries that contributed to his lonely, tragic death. This is the dramatic cautionary tale of a man who articulated the submerged thoughts of an awakening people.
